The '''Minus World''' is a [[glitch]] level found in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' It is an underwater [[level]] exactly like [[World 7-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 7-2]] in geography and enemy locations that cannot be finished due to the pipe at the end being glitched and taking the player back to the start, meaning that once there, it is [[Unwinnable state|impossible to leave]] without getting a [[Game Over]] or resetting. The glitch got its name from fans because the world-level screen displays as '''World -1'''. This is because of a glitch in the panels displaying the numbers. The Minus World is actually '''World 36-1''', but the game displays a blank graphic for the number 36, so all the player can see is the -1.<ref name=world36>[http://www.transmissionzero.co.uk/computing/mario-minus-world/ Minus World] Accessed 2009-01-04 "The 'Minus World' isn't a secret bonus level, and in fact isn't really numbered "−1" at all.
